Auditioning possible fabrics for my next project.
This is an exhibition piece under the title of "Making connections '
The original idea was to start with a plastic juice bottle, but that would have meant including a utility knife in the kit. Depron foam modeling sheets seemed like the right combination of price and strength.
okay, i know it's not that impressive right now,
but i paint in layers. this is just the first part. really. i promise it will be better.
I say mostly because I'm going to add a border to it, but the blocks have been all sewn together. I'm delighted with the layout and the overall look and blending of all the pastels and jewel like colors and the beautiful pictures in the centers of the blocks.
All the Tyrell Corporation has brought so far is a head. That won't do! They say the rest of the body is still in the inceptor tank. I wish they'd hurry up...Pris is pouting about it.
I made my gift for the previous Steam hunt the night before it started, I'm doing much better this time around :)
After finishing up the last three necklaces, three more pendants of the same batch ended up on my beading table, so it’s still all the same colour scheme here, and the same old hearts/love theme. I tend to organize my projects in progress on these neat trays, which I bought a while back in a closing sale. They can be stacked so they don’t gather dust, the beads don’t roll around too much on the velvet, and I can carry them around with me if I decide to continue working in the living room. Theoretically, they are also nice displays (which is what they’re meant for after all), but so far I haven’t done any shows and never needed any.

I grabbed stashed and recycled papers, envelopes and other ephemera to fill up the book. Since the binding clips open and close, I can always move things around, flip pages or add new materials.
Close up of the front of the bag. The blue/green section is to represent the sea, the white on the right is the wedding gown, and the beige on the left represents the Baileys.
Blue green fabrics dyed by me in Dylon, and the beiges in tea. Blue green fibres from Stef Francis, sparkly bits Madeira Glistengloss. All worked on the embellisher.
